Councilman Ritchie Torres (D-Bronx), is sponsoring the bill.

Amid widespread complaints that landlords are illegally refusing to rent to tenants using city vouchers to get out of homeless shelters, a City Council member is looking to help tenants figure out where to turn.

New legislation would require the city to issue a list of landlords who have pledged to accept tenants using the city’s Living in Communities, or LINC, vouchers.

It’s against the law to refuse the vouchers — but many landlords have done it anyway, and people trying to get out of shelters have struggled to find apartments.

“The practice of throwing a voucher at a family and expecting the family to find housing on its own without concrete guidance seems counterproductive,” said Councilman Ritchie Torres (D-Bronx), who is sponsoring the bill.

“There are tenants who have to wait months before finding the right landlord. If a tenant had a list of inclusive landlords from the outset, it would dramatically smooth the path to permanent housing.”

Landlords would voluntarily choose to appear on the proposed list.

The city has vowed to crack down on building owners who refuse the vouchers, a violation known as source-of-income discrimination. But Torres said that, realistically, the practice will never be fully snuffed out.

“Compared to the scale of the problem, the enforcement is negligible,” he said. “Source-of-income discrimination is so widespread.”
